Adams was sucking wind every game by the middle of the first half. Too bad he didn't have a coach that made him get fit.

He also was our whole team and played like 38 minutes a game. And honestly, he externally looked tired a lot, but really don’t think it showed in his play all that much.

And for Floyd, he honestly looks a lot more like a Purvis type player than B Adams. Just my hot take from watching 2 minutes of highlights

It was a combination of both. Granted some body types are different but Adams looked the same as a senior as he did as a freshman. Looked like he still had some baby fat on him (this of course is relative to high level D1 guards, not BY posters).

At the same time he had to play a high amount of minutes every game with the ball in his hands. He couldn't hide in a corner for 3-4 possession waiting for a pass to catch his breath.

Put me down in the "I would have loved to have seen a senior Adams with a coach who had pushed him to his limits from day 1 as a frosh" crowd.

The only way someone would call what I'm carrying as baby fat would be if they thought I swallowed the baby whole≥

He’s a better shooter than Purvis was coming out of high school. I was surprised on tape by how well he shoots the ball. His arms are longer than Purvis’s which makes him more disruptive on defense. Purvis was much more explosive in transition. I like the comp though. Similar in more ways than not.

He does things well that Hurley looks for, teaches. For example he utilizes a jump stop. This is something Hurley has the team practice but you don’t see too much in game.

Your identities are merging, and I don't like it. Leave the recruiting talk that implies you're involved in it to Chief.

As you know.. I am casual.. Just observe certain things.. Occasional tea leaf reader.. Simply responding to UCSouth..

I leave the analysis and speculation to others.. It is what it is..

Appreciate the fact that you've got my back..LOL

Uh huh. No speculation here.

Connecting dots.. Was advised by my BY friends (early in my BY existence) to use qualifiers like IMO/My Two Cents preceding any of my comments so as to maintain my casual status and not appear to know anything..

Occasionally I forget to qualify my comments.. Will work on that for 2021..

But as The Four Tops would say .."Still waters run deep"..

Don't know anything about him. But his comment about what UConn wants from him was telling. He doesn't seem allergic to defense.

I expect us to continue to prioritize multi-faceted big guards who are willing to play defense. It's hard to have too many players like that. I suspect that Dan is honest about that, and that prima donna 5 stars who just want to showcase their offense probably won't be coming to Storrs.

B adams did not have the offers that this kid does. That right there should tell us all we need to know.

@Grey Goose - Thanks for your contribution to this board and sharing your journey with us.

Sorry to put this in this Corey Floyd thread. It isn't worth a new thread, but as I looked for recruiting tidbits on Floyd, I noticed a flurry of crystal balls for both Chet Holmgren AND Hunter Sallis to Gonzaga. That would settle the national championship for next year even if Mark Few had to play 2 on 5.

If the conspiracy theories are wrong, than this schtick is a pretty funny trolling. Well done.

If the conspiracy theories are correct, it's still a pretty funny trolling, but it's also quite sad.

OK.. Monday Morning.. Get a Job is back at work..

Ponder this.. "You've got to be very careful if you don't know where you're going.. Because you might not get there." Yogi Berra

Another one of Yogi's.. "There are some people who, if they don't already know, you can't tell them."

For conspiracy theorists such as you.. "When you come to a fork in the road.. Take it."

All three of these Yogi-isms are appropriate for your musings..

Will close with this comment.. "You can observe a lot just by watching"..
